Utah has a diverse climate, with crystal-clear lakes and towering mountains in the north and spectacular red rock canyons and arches in the south. Logan is tucked away in a pristine valley in northern Utah, positioned with direct access to Logan Canyon, a national scenic byway. The valley is surrounded by stunning mountain ranges and is beautiful during all four seasons, particularly so during the fall and spring.
The dry climate is ideal for enjoying the outdoors, even during the winter months. Locals enjoy hiking, biking, camping, kayaking, canoeing, sailing, fishing, golfing, rock climbing, swimming, skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and much more. During the summer, locals flock to Bear Lake for a day of fun in the sun followed by a fresh raspberry shake. Bear Lake is often referred to as the “Caribbean of the Rockies” due to its turquoise-blue water and sandy beaches. There are endless activities nearby, but if you are keen to expand your options, there are plenty of adventure opportunities not too far from home.
Utah is home to five national parks, has some of the tallest mountain peaks in the country, boasts some of the best mountain biking in the world, and is known for world-class ski resorts. In fact, 80% of the state has been reserved for public use. But if the typical outdoor sports don’t pique your interest, you can get creative. Southern Utah is famous
for slick-rock mountain biking and unique SUV and ATV adventures. Our sand dunes are popular with dune buggy enthusiasts and speed fanatics who try to break the record at Bonneville Salt Flats, which hosts events
like Speed Week and World of Speed.
You can also try your hand at rockhounding and discover fossils, geodes, gem-quality topaz, red beryl, and sun stones. If your interests are more Jurassic in nature, Utah has the densest concentration of dinosaur fossils ever discovered. And if you also enjoy the attractions of city life, there are plenty of sports and fine arts events nearby. Whatever your pursuits are, you will find Utah a wonderful place to call home.
